In my humble opinion, the best packages out there for multivariate

but it will work on Windows 95 systems. It is not free. You should

Subject: abstract on Belize bleaching, 1995
The 1995 coral bleaching event in the western Caribbean was the
first that significantly affected the Belize Barrier Reef. The bleaching
was attributed to a two month period of warm water temperatures between 32
and 34 degrees in shallow back reef areas. Near Ambergris Caye,barrier and
patch reefs along the coast experienced up to 50% bleaching. At Mexico
Rocks Patch Reef Complex (MRPRC), important changes in reef health,
community and physical structure occurred, probably owing to the 1995
bleaching event.
During the years 1988-1993, 23 patch reefs of the MRPRC were mapped,
geologically analyzed, and ecologically surveyed. The zone was
characterized ecologically and taxonomically as a stony, head coral
complex. MRPRC consisted of 83% healthy, well-colored, framework-building
head corals. Other reef-building taxa and reef dwelling, invertebrate taxa
were of secondary importance. During this interval, the MRPRC exhibited
24% degradation of reef surfaces and 5.3% cavity development.
22 of the MRPRC patches were resurveyed in March 1996, after the
bleaching event. Less than 1% of the complex is currently experiencing
bleaching. Comparison of the pre- and post-bleaching degradation values
indicates that degradation increased and coral cover decreased 13%,
indicating high coral mortality. The secondary disturbances that can
follow coral mortality associated with a bleaching event are present in
the complex, including an increase in algal cover and subsequent herbivory
that erodes the reef framework. The full impact of this bleaching event
may not be concluded for years, and may have implications for
interpretation of reefs in the fossil record.

As a responce to the needs of our society, we have established a new
department of Environment and Earth Scineces in the Islamic University of
Gaza.
The department aims to provide the Palestinian Soceity with the
specialsits in this field. In Gaza Strip we facing escalating
environmental problems, the topmost of which is the Environmnetal
Pollution of the Groundwater. Other environmental concerns are also
present which include the Waste Management either water or solid. Yet
there is no real efforts to solve such problems. Thus the department will
contribute in introducing solutions to such problems. This will be
achieved through teaching, research and training courses.
Teaching is an important process to the department, several courses are
now tought in the department which include:
Envrionmental analysis
Pollution controll
Environmental Impact Assesment
Waste management
Hydrogeology
Environmnetal Microbiology
Special Topics in Environment
Waste Water
Soil Sciences
Marine Scineces
Remote Sensing
and some other courses related to environmnet and Earth Scince,
analytical and organic chemistry are also within the obligatory courses
which the student must study.
Research is also a priority in the departmental policy, the current
reserach which is now undertaken in the department includes:
Groundwater contamination
Nitrate contamination of groundwater
Environmnetal Management in the Gaza Strip
Environmnetal Impact Assesment constraints in the Gaza Strip
Marine Pollution
Effect of marine pollution on the biodiversity
Future Research topics
Strategic Mangement of groundwater in the Gaza Strip
Coastal and Marine Management
Sustainable management of the natural resources
Pollution pervention
The departmenatal staff are sepecilaised in environmnetal and earth
Scineces and have the motivation to work in building such department from
the scratch. The staff are 4 PhD holders, 2 MSc, and 3 BSc, working as
lecturers, instructores and assistants.

Institution of Groundwater Resources Management"
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As part of the departmnetal strategic planning for the future, the
department has now a proposal to establish an " Institution of Groundwater
Resources Management". This institution will belong to the Department. It
aims to better understand the nature of the groundwater crisis in the
area. Also, it will help to establish a monitoring system for the
groundwater, and to find a sustainable program for groundwater management
and protection. It will help in training of the undergraduate students
and to hold traianing courses to engineers, technisans and other people
intetsted in such issues.
The total costs of the proposal are about 500,000 US$. Now we are
seeking funding for such strategic project which will serve the community
in protecting its natural water resources and to establish future
policies for groundwater abstraction, recharge and discharge.
We call the international Aid Agencies, Environmnetal Agencies,
Groundwater Agencies, The Health Agenceis,Charities and others to support
such project which will be of Great Benifit to the Palestinian Society in the
Gaza Strip.
The project could be supported by the cooperation between several aid
agencies, companies, associations and even individuals who are
interseting on environmnetal and health issues.

Dear Dr Wilkinson,
We have been projecting a characterization and monitoring of coral reef since
last months. This project would be charging out with volunteer divers at least
on three localities at our country. For this moment we have planned to make
monitoring until December, but we want this work be a regular long-term
monitoring. I want to participate in the Pilot Monitoring Programme.
We have prepared a simple evalution. We are using the Cintron's Manual (in
spanish) of the WWF, with some modifications. We do not have the Survey Manual
for Tropical Marine Resources. I hope you can send one. On the other hand, we
are working with a specialist in coral reef in Venezuela, PhD Sheyla Marquez.
She has suggested to adquire HOBBO's and other istruments to make the measures.
Presently, we are looking for funds here, in Venezuela. I want to know if there
is any international organization which wa
nt to give us financing and advise.
Additionally, we are working in a project about the socioeconomic causes
affecting the biodiversity. I want to know if a Coral Reef Management Plan
exists in Australia, and if so, which its standars are. Where can I find this
information?
Many thanks in advance,
Sincerely yours,

The following abstract is of a paper presented by the authors at the 26th
Annual Meeting of the Association of Marine Laboratories of the Caribbean in
1994. We have since used visual methods for censusing parrotfish and
surgeonfish populations on the outer reef flats of Roatan, Honduras. We will be
returning to Roatan this summer to continue our work.
Comments would be appreciated!
A NEW VISUAL CENSUSING TECHNIQUE FOR ENUMERATING
LARGE, DAY ACTIVE REEF FISHES

Geoff Stein, Monica Cervinek, Kevin Kittredge,
Tasha Bair and Nancy Osborne (ReefWatch Volunteers)
ABSTRACT
The Kick Cycling Visual Technique (KCVT) for censusing fishes was
developed and tested. The KCVT does not require the advance deployment of
markers as does the Strip Transect Visual Technique STVT. Divers need only a
compass and a slate to carry out a census and use a standard timed kick cycle
method for estimating the distance covered while swimming along a compass
heading. This is of great advantage when time is limited and the goal of a
census is to visit multiple sites over large reef areas.
The KCVT was used to census parrotfish and surgeonfish at four
locations at the northwest end of Lighthouse Reef Atoll, Belize. All censusing
was done in outer reef flat environments on the seaward side of the reef crest
at depths of 30 to 45 feet.
The census data was used to study the precision of the method. The
Precision Statistic (P=SE/M) ranged from 10-26%.
There is a strong similarity in the distribution of parrotfish and
surgeonfish between sites. There were no significant differences between the
KCVT surgeonfish censuses at all four sites (Kruskall-Wallis p=0.05). The
sample distributions from three sites were not significantly different from one
another in both parrotfish and surgeonfish (Kruskall-Wallis p=0.05). However
the mean number of parrotfish was greater and significantly different at
Lighthouse Wall (Kruskall-Wallis p=0.05).
Paired STVT and KCVT censuses produced similar sample distributions at
Manta Point. There was no significant difference between the STVT and KCVT data
pairs (Mann-Whitney U Test, p=0.05). The results support the hypothesis that
the KCVT provides a similar degree of accuracy and precision as the STVT for
censusing large, day active reef fish.

NOAA will provide new information every week on a wide variety of issues
related to coral reefs, and direct access to experts in many fields. Each
of the 52 weekly coral reef stories will be a package of ideas, experts to
consult, and a wide-range of issues affecting the reefs. Some of these
include: dynamite fishing in tropical waters, protected area management,
and reef restoration projects.
Although NOAA is the coordinating entity for this effort, the list of

In-Reply-To:
Message-ID:
To Jim Coulter,
Regarding your inquiry about the status of harvesting precious
corals, see my paper in Marine Fisheries Review, 1993, Vol. 55:50-60, for
a review of the subject. In Hawaii, there has been a black coral fishery
for about 38 years; it is well managed by virtue of size limits (4 feet
minimum height for colonies of Antipathes grandis and Antipathes
dichotoma) and an estimate of MSY that has never been exceeded. A model
based on the Beverton-Holt yield recruit analysis was used to estimate
MSY. It is an example that illustrates it is possible to harvest corals
successfully. In contrast, the pink and red precious coral fishery in the
North Pacific has not been well managed and is seriously over-exploited.
Much of the resource is outside of 200 miles and regulation is virtually
impossible. It is common property and another example of the tragedy of
the commons. What is needed are multi-lateral treaties among countries
that exploit the resource (Japan and Taiwan and the US). See my paper for
more details.

Hi- I'm wondering if anyone has done any research on the effects of

was doing field research for my master's thesis, and the locals there
squirt Clorox into nooks and crannies in the reef to catch octopus.
This is a relatively new method of catching a previously un-used species,
but I can imagine it must be disastrous- and I'd like to know more about
it. Thanks, jenna bossung (please reply to jab18 at acpub.duke.edu)

I wonder if anyone in the coral-list-community can help me with the following question:
What would be the best way to preserve "fresh" coral mucus under
field work conditions (freezing possible) for further lab
investigations back home?
I would very much appreciate any reply with hints, advices or your
experiences asap!

Dear Coral-Listers,
I am finishing up a 3,000sqft demo & Info centre on promoting coral reef
awareness, conservation and rehabilitation. Aquariums and actual R&D
concrete raceways are part of it as well as a briefing hall.
I need sources for UW videos that are both informative and entertaining.
Any computer side shows are also needed, whereas, such can be sent via
disk or CD-Rom.
Scientific video is also needed for the visiting scientists.
Any help would be appreciated. Money is no problem here either.

Subject: Deletion from coral-list?
Message-ID:
>From time to time I unfortunately have to delete names from coral-list
because of several email/Internet related problems. If you find in the
future that you are no longing receiving coral-list messages, it may be
because of one of the reasons listed below. If this happens, just
re-subscribe (you *did* keep that original message on subscribing and
unsubscribing, didn't you?), or send me a message and I'll help out.
If you didn't keep the original message, it is attached for your
convenience.
Reasons Your Name May Be Deleted
================================
1) You changed email addresses and forgot to unsubscribe from coral-list
using our old address, then re-subscribe using your new address. (Or, you
forgot to notify me.)
2) Your mailbox is full, and messages to your account keep bouncing back
to majordomo (the listserver software). I'll usually let this go for
several days or a week before having to delete your name.
3) Your sytsem administrator changed your email address (or mail server),
sometimes without you even knowing it. Therefore, messages sent to your
old address keep bouncing. This usually comes back as a "host unknown"
error. This may also occur if you change computers (hosts) you use for
reading or sending your mail.
4) The network connection to your site is down so often that messages to
you bounce more than they are delivered!
5) You somehow re-subscribed with a bogus address (like "@somewhere.com",
instead of "your_name at somewhere.com"). I'm not sure exactly how this
happens, but it occasionally does. I believe it is related to the mail
software used by the client (you).
6) "Local configuration error". This is a catch-all for several
different problems, usually your mail software is configured incorrectly.
Thank you very much for your patience.
Sincerely yours,
Jim Hendee

in a hurry. Double-check your "To: " line before
sending.
2) Do not "flame" (i.e., scold) colleagues via the coral-list. If
you feel compelled to chastise someone, please send them
mail directly and flame away.
3) Please conduct as much preliminary research into a topic
as possible before posting a query to the list. (In
other words, you shouldn't expect others to do your
research for you.) Please consider:
o Your librarian (an extremely valuable resource)
o The CHAMP Literature Abstracts area at the CHAMP Web:
o The CHAMP Online Researcher's Directory
(i.e., search for your topic, ask the
experts directly)
o The CHAMP (and other) Web sites' links page(s)
But please *do* avail yourself of the list when you've exhausted
other sources.
4) Please see the CHAMP pages for employment related issues
instead of posting job requests to coral-list.
5) Please carefully consider the purpose of the coral-list
before posting a message. This is a forum comprised
primarily of researchers who devote major portions
of their work time to the study of corals or
coral-related issues.
6) Succinct postings are greatly appreciated by all.

The application "Tide Stamp" by Brian Burke does this. It's for Mac.
There is another program called "Xtide" for Xwindows, by David Flater

THE LOCATION
Ustica is a small island in the middle of the southern Thyrrenian Sea, at
around 30 miles from Palermo. The Riserva Naturale Marina Isola di Ustica,
settled in 1985, is the first Marine Park in Italy. Very well known amongst
scuba divers, its main features are the submerged rocky cliffs, very crowded
with fish. The grouper Epinephelus marginatus, nowadays rare in most of the
Mediterranean, is quite common here.
Ustica is connected twice a day with Palermo by ferry boat or hovercraft.
Palermo is connected daily with all the main Italian airports.
At the end of june the weather is usually fine and dry. Air temperature
range between 24 and 30?C. Water temperature is around 24?C at the surface,
16?C below 15 m depth.
On the island it is possible to find accommodation in various hotels. The
average rate for a 3 star hotel is around 50 USD for a double room without
breakfast.

Unique Summer Opportunity in Marine Conservation Biology
The Duke University Marine Laboratory is offering an unparalleled summer
educational opportunity from July 21 through August 22, 1997. Marine
conservation biology teaches the principles of conservation and
preservation of the coastal environment with a focus on problem solving as
well as the application of science in shaping environmental management
decisions and policy.
Distinguished faculty from around the country will assemble for this
concentrated five week program. Among the guest faculty are: Baird
Callicott, North Texas State University, Norman L. Christensen, Jr., Duke
University, John Clarke, Mote Marine Laboratory, Paul Dayton, Scripps
Institute of Oceanography, Martin Hall, Inter-American Tropical Tuna
Commission, Jane Lubchenco, Oregon State University and others from the
summer faculty at the Duke University Marine Laboratory.
In addition to the course in marine conservation biology and this
distinguished group of visitors, those enrolled in summer term II have the
opportunity to fulfill two college credits by adding on of the seven
elective courses offered at that time.
Full tuition summer scholarships are still available. Applications for
scholarships are due by March 28, 1997. Applications for Summer Term II
will be taken until July 17, 1997.

Message-ID: <199703171530.KAA31142@wizard.wizard.net>
Hi Folks,
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that Congressman George
Miller (D-CA) introduced another concurrent resolution on coral reefs
aimed at stemming the effects of overfishing and destructive fishing
practices in coral reef areas.
You can obtain a copy of House Resolution 87 from the House Documents
room or the House Resources Committee ( minority staff). Please
encourage your U.S. Representatives to co-sponsor H. Res. 87.
I'm attaching a press release that AOC did to thank Congressman
Miller for his efforts. Please pass this on to any press that you
all have contact with or do your own. Thank you letters to
Congressman Miller would also be great as we'd like the
momentum on coral reefs to continue on Capitol Hill.
Thanks,
Tanya Dobrzynski

Message-ID:
I wonder if anyone in the coral-list-community can help me with the following:
What I am looking for is daily (0000h, 0600h, 1200h and 1800h) and seasonal
(January, April, July, and October) cycles for temperature (air and water),
pH, salinity, oxygen concentrations and carbon dioxide concentrations
measured on a coral reef. I have been unable to find any current data
which is available in this format or any that are measured on the same reef
area.
Thank you in advance for any help that can be provided.

Subject: Seeking Info on storm damage on coral reefs and corals
In-Reply-To:
Message-ID:
We are developing some models on the effect of disturbance on corals and
coral reefs and would appreciate knowing if you have information on the
effect of storms. What we have found from the literature search are
information mainly on the general effect of storm damage, e.g. percentage
of reef destroyed, different types or growth forms of corals destroyed
etc. What we are looking for are more specific information, e.g. how
diferent growth forms, or species of corals respond to specific
intensity of wave force, physical impact of waves on corals etc. We would
appreciate if you could lead us to relevant literature on this subject, or
better still, if you could let us know where and how we could obtain data
on this.

Thanks to Susie Cochran for catching the misaken day of the week in

I'm resending the press release with the correction made. Sorry

Subject: Effects of aereal exposure on coral reefs
In-Reply-To:
Message-ID:
Hello everyone:
I am a marine ecologist from Colombia. My students and I have
recently been working on the effects on corals and coral community
structure of aereal exposures during extreme low tides in the Colombian
Pacific. We are trying to obtain background information on the subject,
but have found very little, even after a search in Aquatic Sciences and
Fisheries Abstracts from 1988 to 1995. From general books it appears that
this phenomenon is rather frequent in the Indo-Pacific, however, we have
not found studies on the impact of these events on coral communities.
I would greatly appreciate receiving any information that you
might have on the subject, particularly references to previous work.
Reprints would be particularly appreciated since here in Colombia we do
not have a good library system.
Thanks for any help,
Fernando A. Zapata

cyclonic storms on coral reefs. Youll find that most of the data is
qualitative or pre- and post-storm surveys of small areas. After 12
years, David Stoddart's appeal for systematic, multiscale investigations
of hurricane effects has gone largely unheeded. One reason for this is
perhaps demography: severe hurricanes are uncommon in areas with high
densities of marine biologists. But I think that the greatest obstacle to
a better understanding of the biological effects of storms has been a
reluctance to learn the meteorology, wave modelling, physics, etc. I
think the best work in this direction is by Terry Done and colleagues
(Done, various years; Massel and Done 1993; Done and Potts).
Orthogonally,
alx

Hi there,
I am a Portuguese student of Marine Biology from the University of Lisbon
(Portugal).
At the moment I am preparing the field work for my graduation thesis, which
will focus on the fish assemblages occuring in five small marine areas
(interesting for conservation) located in the archipelago of the Azores.
After reading several articles related to methods of recording the
information (species, number, size and sex of fishes observed) underwater I
became very interested in using an Underwater Tape Recorder (UTR).
The problem is I cannot find any reference to where I could buy such device,
how much it presently costs, which kind of breathing apparatus it requires, etc.
I have already tried several search engines in the internet and already
contacted the authors of the articles where such device is used. However,
till now I didn?t manage to get much information.
So if any of you have any information you find useful to me please let me know.
Besides this "commercial" problem I would also like hear from those of you
who have already used such device. Please tell me about some good/bad
experiences, recomendations, alerts, etc.
I will begin my field work within a couple of months so I do not have plenty
of time to get the (UTR).
I would be very thankful if any of you would be so kind to answer me as soon
as possible, sending me as much information as you can.
Thanks in advance.

OTS also has (or had) a similar system that is designed stricly for underwater
recording. It uses the same mouth piece and microphone, but instead of a
transceiver in an underwater housing it comes with a tape recorder in a
housing.
I've had good luck with the commercial version of the system Ken described.

I recently purchased a system from "Ocean Technology
Systems" (OTS). It is called the "Buddy Phone". All you do is
take off the mouth piece from your second stage and replace
it with the special buddy phone mouth cup which contains a
microphone. You will also need the surface unit. This is a
multi channel portable surface station. The station has a
female RCA receptable, for connection to any type of
recording system. It has a "Mic Level" output.
Each diver unit has ear phone and microphone and runs for
about $400-$600 (US dollars)
The surface unit about $1,000 (US Dollars)
System is called the Buddy Phone STX-100.
You can also use the Aquacom (SSB-2001) single sideband
acoustic telephone if you are using full face AGA masks.
I have had great luck with these units.
Ocean Technology Systems are in Costa Mesa California, USA.

They may have distributors in Europe, but I do not know them.
They may even have a web site.
